Day 20 - July 22 - Hard day

Did you ever have a day where you feel like it is too much. Well that was my day today. I really have been getting depressed because 2 of the things my PT wants me to do I can not do them. It is 2 patella exercises. I can not find the top and bottom of my patella (Honora says cause it is too swollen) that I feel like giving up...mind you I don't but it feels like it.
The achiness is getting to me to. It is like...why am I not healed yet...Honora gentally reminds me, "it has only been 3 weeks." So it has been one of THOSE kind of days.
It started out rough because I woke up stiff, sore, achey....and best of all SICK. :( my nose was running and stuffy and I just did not feel good. Needless to say, I did not do all of my exercises this morning.
We ran to the library, YMCA, and the store.
Even with all the "I DON'T WANT TO DO THIS ANYMORE..." I still managed to make myself go do the bike for 10 min at the YMCA....I drove to different places today with...and to the store and such.
I rode the wheelchair at the store because I did not want to walk and I was icing my knee from biking.
I did not take a walk today....
I did not do my exercises 3 times...only 2....
:( I really had a hard day.
But I did make myself do my exercises 2 times with the wonderful help of my Honora the first time... :) she shouted the numbers to me and encouraged me :)
and my Meghan...she softly encouraged me and told me how well I was doing! for the 2nd set...
I love my Honora and Meghan they really helped me today!
Sometimes...you just need a little encouragement...
I was also depressed...because I can not go swimming for 3 more weeks... :( and I have to be strong about this...even though I really really really really really want to soak in a hot tub...DR orders...6 weeks... I can not risk an infection in my knee...sigh.....
Oh well...I am done exercising..I was not even going to blog today...but I think it is good to write the good AND the bad...that way it will help me push forward, keep going, and NOT GIVE UP!!!!!
